  • ‘But in any case,’ said Glorfindel, ‘to send the Ring to him would only postpone the day of evil. He is far away. We could not now take it back to him, unguessed, unmarked by any spy. And even if we could, soon or late the Lord of the Rings would learn of its hiding place and would bend all his power towards it. Could that power be defied by Bombadil alone? I think not. I think that in the end, if all else is conquered, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First; and then Night will come.’

    ‘I know little of Iarwain save the name,’ said Galdor; ‘but Glorfindel, I think, is right. Power to defy our Enemy is not in him, unless such power is in the earth itself. And yet we see that Sauron can torture and destroy the very hills. What power still remains lies with us, here in Imladris, or with Cirdan at the Havens, or in Lórien. But have they the strength, have we here the strength to withstand the Enemy, the coming of Sauron at the last, when all else is overthrown?’

    It says right there hiding the ring with him, even if he didn’t lose it on accident would still be a failure. Sauron would steamroll middle earth and he would have gone out last as he had also been the first, and the ring would have returned to Sauron in total victory.



  • Oh stop you bombadil simps are even worse then the eagle people. Bombadil would have fallen to Sauron full stop. The elves say so, gandalf says so, Tolkien says so. Tom can’t even destroy the ring. He’s not Superman, he’s just a plot Device created by Tolkien and in my unpopular opinion should have been cut like in the peter Jackson trilogy. Sure his singing is nice in the audiobook, but he’s the 1940’s equivalent of “omg so rAnDoM” scene girl self insert, who is “like OMG the strongest because he just is okay. Isn’t he so wacky and random?”.
